Task Completed


One of my summer tasks was to sweep the garage floor because it is disgusting. Although I have a big push broom, I wanted to get a smaller broom for the edges and corners. Of course I wasn't going to use any broom from the inside in that filth, so I went to ACE Hardware to get a broom. While checking out I noticed the Charleston Chew candy bars, so I bought one. The girl told me it was horrible as I checked out. She then tried to tell me she wasn't putting down my tastes and continued to talk about the nastiness of my choice in candy. I'm not sure that her job is to comment on my candy as I check out. Maybe she should have followed me to the garage and commented negatively in an appropriate manner. Now the garage is swept out and hosed down although picking a humid day to do these would have been more appropriate.

Though I do not like Charleston Chews, I agree with you that no one needs to make comments about your candy as you are giving them money to pay for said candy.

This is one of my jobs, too. To sweep the garage. I haven't done it yet. When I check out at the ACE, I'll be sure not to buy something that the check out girl doesn't like.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
